Rugby has given Lowri Norkett a gift she will cherish for the rest of her life: the ability to feel closer to her late sister Elli.
Wales international Elli had been the youngest player - aged just 17 - at the Rugby World Cup in 2014 and was destined for great things before her tragic death aged just 20 after a car accident five years ago.
Amid the heartbreak which seared from Elli's family, friends and the wider rugby community, big sister Lowri took up her sister's chosen sport in her honour. But what started out as a tribute to Elli has turned into a remarkable rugby journey which now sees Lowri stand on the brink of her first official Wales cap in the upcoming Women's Six Nations, having recently made her debut in the uncapped match against USA.
